Cookie Policy

Last updated:

This Cookie Policy explains how Vitaexpel uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website vitaexpel.world, in compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) 2003. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device.

We also use localStorage — a web browser feature that stores data locally on your device, similar in function to cookies but with different technical characteristics. We use localStorage specifically to remember your cookie consent preferences.

4. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the basic operation of our website and cannot be disabled. They include:

  • Cookie consent preference (localStorage key: cookieConsent): Stores your cookie preferences so you are not shown the consent banner on every page visit. Duration: Until you clear your browser data.
  • Session management cookies: Ensure the website responds correctly during your visit. Duration: Session only (deleted when you close your browser).

Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they do not require your prior consent under UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

5. Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website by collecting anonymous, aggregated information. This may include which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on the site, and general navigation paths.

These cookies are only placed with your explicit consent. If you decline analytics cookies, we will not be able to gather this information about your visit, but all website functionality will remain available to you.

Analytics data collected is used solely to improve the website experience and is not shared with third parties for commercial purposes.

6. Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to understand the effectiveness of our informational content and to show content that is relevant to your stated interests. These cookies are only placed with your explicit consent.

If you decline marketing cookies, you may still see general content from us, but it may be less tailored to your interests.

7. Local Storage

We use the browser's localStorage to store your cookie consent preferences. This data:

  • Is stored only on your own device
  • Is never transmitted to our servers
  • Contains only your consent choices (e.g. whether analytics or marketing cookies are accepted)
  • Can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser's site data

9. Third-Party Cookies

Our website loads resources from the following third-party services via CDN links:

  • Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com): Loads web fonts. Google may collect limited usage data. See Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com.
  • Font Awesome CDN (cdnjs.cloudflare.com): Loads icon library files. Cloudflare may log requests for performance and security purposes.

These third-party services operate under their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control the cookies they may set.

10. Browser Controls

In addition to using our cookie consent tool, you can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View and delete existing cookies
  • Block future cookies from being set
  • Set preferences for specific websites

Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of our website. For instructions specific to your browser, consult the browser's help documentation.

11. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we change the cookies we use or when legal requirements change. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
